SPECIFICATION forming part of ietters Patent No. 265,558, dated. October 10,1882

Application filed August 18, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern Be it known that l, HOLLAND O. BABGOCK, of Hartford, in thecounty of Hartford and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Clips for Coiled Fabrics; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, whereby a person skilled in the art can make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon.

Like letters in the figures indicate the same parts.

My improvements relate to clips for fastening the ends of tapes, bindings, lacings, and other fabrics which are commonly prepared for the market made up into rolls or coils.

My invention has for its object the construction of a better and more secure fastening than has heretofore been in use.

In the accompanying drawings, illustrating my invention, Figure 1. is a perspective view ofa roll of tape provided with my improved fastening. Fig. 2 is a plan view of the shape of the metal of which the clip is composed in its flat state as cut out by a die. Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the clip bent into proper form for use.

A A are the two points of the clip, which are bent down on the sides of the roll and are turned inward, so as to enter the material and hold the clip in place over the outer or looseend of the roll.

B is the flat body of the clip, which extends from side to side between the points A.

O O are smaller additional points, which are formed upon the body B when out out by a die in the form shown in Fig. 2. These points are then bent up at right angles to the part B in the same direction as the points A, as shown in Fig. 3. These points enter the material of which the roll is composed when the clip is placed upon it in the position shown in Fig. 1, and eli'ectually prevent the loose end from being drawn through under the part B. (llips having the parts A and B have heretofore been in use; but the ends of the rolls are liable to be drawn through them and escape from the-fastening, which the additional points 0 in my improved clip entirely prevent.

What 1 claim as my invention is A clip adapted to secure the end of a coiled fabric to the coil provided with the right-angular points A, by which it is held on the HOLLAND O. BABOOCK.
